I was under the impression that awk was a native port, but I could
be wrong.

In any case, I recommend that you start with BWK's latest, which is
availble on github:

	git clone git://github.com/onetrueawk/awk

And also talk to Erik who did some work on bringing the Plan 9 awk into
sync with BWK's a little while back.

HTH,

Arnold

P.S. The git repo includes his test suite in the file awktest.a; it should
probably be unarchived in a separate directory from the source.
